The incorporated radio modem is used together with the TCPS26 radio modem as a basic station in the TPS1100. Validity of the user manual This user manual is valid for all RCS1100 units having a built-in radio modem. Exceptions relating to the RCS1100 without built-in radio modem are indicated. The present manuel describes the software version 1.22. Instruments in locations which are exposed, difficult to reach, or cramped, can be conveniently operated with the RCS1100 control unit. RCS1100 stands for Remote Control Surveying. The RCS1100 enables survey instruments of the TPS1100 and TPS1000 series to be remote controlled. RCS1100-1.2.0en 7 Preparation,Setting Introduction up 6 Preparation, Setting up Unpacking The RCS1100 is supplied complete with the User Manual and with a software diskette / CD in a padded nylon bag. The outfit also includes an adapter which enables the RCS1100 to be connected to a GLS11 reflector pole. The bag has space for a spare GEB111/121 battery and for a TCPS26 radio modem. The entire equipment has been designed for rough field conditions but we nevertheless recommend that you use the bags and containers provided when you transport it over long distances. Protect cables, plugs, batteries and antennae against the weather. 10 8 11 7/9 2 The complete equipment and the accessories for Remote Control Surveying can be reliably transported in the container 667 337 (option), in which all of the components are clearly laid out for rapid installation. 9 8 1 Preparation, Setting up 7 6 2 3 8 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1 RCS1100 Holder for reflector pole Battery GEB71 360° Reflector Y-cable, Antenna extension Battery GEB70 Battery GEB111 TCPS26 radio modem Battery GEB121 User Manual, installation diskette Antenna 4 RCS1100-1.2.0en Fitting the RCS1100 to the reflector pole Using the clamping screw provided, secure the reflector-pole adapter at the appropriate height on a GLS11 reflector pole. The adapter can remain on the reflector pole during transport. Screw the antenna to the end of the antenna extension and connect the antenna extension to the reflector adapter. RCS1100-1.2.0en WARNING: If the radio modem is switched on, do not carry the antenna closer than 15 cm to your body. Now connect the RCS1100 to the reflector-pole adapter by lining up the marks and tightening the screw. Connect the antenna extension to the RCS1100. At short distances, or under favourable radio transmission conditions, you can leave out the antenna extension and connect the antenna directly to the RCS1100. Connecting the RCS1100 (lining up the marks on housing and adapter) The angle bracket and the position of the antenna socket together ensure that the antenna is vertical. 9 Preparation,Setting up 6 Installing the TCPS26 on the tripod of the instrument If the RCS1100 is secured in another manner, make sure that the antenna is vertical, otherwise the transmission range will be restricted. 1 2 1 2 Connect the following to the tripod of the instrument: The TCPS26 radio modem, the antenna extension with antenna, and the GEB70 or GEB71 external battery. Make sure that the antenna can transmit freely in the direction of work. The TCPS26 radio modem must be configured as the BASE modem. Reflctor pole, completely set up Preparation, Setting up Using the Y-cable, connect the survey instrument, the battery and the TCPS26 radio modem.

Preparation,Setting up Switching on Trouble-shooting After all connections and settings have been inspected, the RCS1100 can be switched on. This automatically brings the TPS1100 into the RCS mode. After a few seconds, the display of the TPS1100 appears on the RCS1100. Error Preparation, Setting up Cause / remedy Case 1 - Green LED on TCPS26 does not shine: Inspect battery charge, and cables for TCPS26 Case 2 - Message "No signal" on RCS1100: No data transfer when Inspect battery charge in RCS1100 starting up (short or possible link numbers for RCS1100 and distance between TCPS26 are not the same. TCPS26 and RCS1100) Case 3 - Green LED shines and message appears on RCS1100: Set interface paarmeters correctly on TPS and TCPS26. Data transfer possible, but transmission fault Case 1 - Red LED on TCPS26 flashes: Inspect interface parameters. Case 2 - Red LED on TCPS26 does not flash: Connecting cable is defective Data transfer is very slow Disturbance from other transmitters in the 2.4 Ghz frequency band: Change link number in RSC1100 and TCPS26. Interruption during data transfer Message "No signal" on RCS1100:Operation is at the limit of the range, or there is no visual communication between RCS1100 and TCPS26. Establish visual communication, reduce distance, use antenna extension. 12 RCS1100-1.2.0en Packaging and transport Batteries and chargers GEB111 Before packing up the RCS1100 and the TCPS26 in the bag, unscrew the antennae and remove the battery from the RCS1100. For maximum protection during transport, pack the units as shown in the diagram. Your Leica Geosystems instrument is operated with rechargable plug-in batteries. The GEB111 is the preferred battery for use with the RCS1100, but the GEB121 may also be used. Only use batteries, charging sets and accessories recommended by Leica Geosystems. In order to fully exhaust battery capacity it is absolutely necessary with new batteries to carry out 3 to 5 complete charging/discharging cycles. RCS1100-1.2.0en 13 GEB121 1100z06 T100Z72 6 After first charging of batteries you can start immediately with your job. As a result, the batteries will be discharged. Because the operating time of the battery can be very short until full capacity is reached it is recommended to have ready a second battery and the GKL122 battery charger. Using the charger, the battery can be charged/discharged several times before use. Preparation,Setting up T100Z74 Tcs11z02 Inserting and removing batteries Tcs11z01 Charging batteries To charge the battery, use the GKL111 or GKL122 charger as described in the instructions provided with that charger. The chargers are not intended for outdoor use. Adhere to the safety directions. Preparation, Setting up The battery for the RCS1100 fits into a compartment on the underside of the instrument. Push it fully against the side opposite to the catch and then click it into position on the same side as the catch. 14 To remove the battery, hold it to prevent it from falling and pull out the lever of the catch by about 2mm. RCS1100-1.2.0en Description of the system Description of the instrument The RCS1100 can remotely control almost all of the functions and applications of TPS1100 and TPS1000 series instruments. The RCS1100 consists of the keyboard and LCD display from the TPS1100, the radio module of the TCPS26, and the power unit. Because its keyboard and LCD are the same as those in the TPS1100, the RCS1100 is operated in exactly the same way. If the TPS1000 is used, the keyboard template for assigning the keys is applied. RCS1100-1.2.0en 6 The functions and settings of the RCS1100 are called by keeping the illumination key or function key pressed for at least two seconds: 1. Brightness of LCD display 2. Contrast of LCD display 3. Configuration of beep 4. Heating for LCD display 5. Sleep mode 6. Configuration of internal radio module and of TCPS26 7. Configuration of serial interface 8. Language 9. Operating mode of TPS1100 15 The status of the battery, and the radio contact, are monitored and can be displayed. If the radio contact is interrupted for a long period, or if the battery charge sinks below a certain level, a warning is displayed. Description of the system 7 8 Software concept The RCS1100 has loadable software covering the requirements for controlling the TPS1100/TPS1000 and the local functions. The software also includes all available language elements for the local functions. The software is loaded with the up-load function of the SurveyOffice in the same way as for the TPS1100. The charging procedure is controlled entirely by the SurveyOffice. Description of the system New languages are continually being added for the local functions of the RCS1100. If you cannot find the language which you want, contact your Leica Geosystems agency. 16 RCS1100-1.2.0en Operation Allocation of keys The key activates special functions for aligning the TPS1100 with the prism. The shape of the search window is rectangular (default size: Hz = 30 gon, V = 15 gon). The dimension of the search window in RCS mode can be defined in the "RCS Searching Window" function. 01 02 03 04 05 06 Program selection Free Station Resection Orientation & Ht.Transfer Stakeout Tie Distance Remote Height COMPS PS JSTCK WORK+ LAST RCS+ Hz/V WORKA QUIT In the joystick mode, the TPS1100 can be turned horizontally or vertically with the aid of the cursor keys. Activate/deactivate working area. Turns the TPS1100 to the last point stored. Sets the TPS1100 to compass mode, enabling the TPS1100 to be targeted on the prism with the help of a compass. Starts PowerSearch. The target functions are required : • to achieve the first LOCK • for LOCK replacement in the event of LOCK loss (through longer viewing interruptions). RCS1100-1.2.0en MC The allocation of the keys on the RCS1100 is the same as on the TPS1100. When the RCS1100 is switched on, the TPS1100 automatically changes to LOCK mode (prism tracking). 6 Switches on/off the RCS operating mode. By entering relative or absolute angle values, the TPS1100 can be turned by the corresponding amount or set to the angle value required. Define a working area. 17 Operation 7 8 15 Working in RCS mode is hardly different from working in the normal measuring mode. A switchover is possible on the TPS1100 at any time. The great advantages of the RCS are: • one-person operation is possible • when surveying you are at the site of the action, i.e. where the points are being recorded or set out • you do not have to assess the situation from the instrument location. It is essential to protect the measurement location. The actions and effects of personnel, machines and the weather can damage the instruments. After the TPS1100 has been set up and the RCS mode activated, the TPS1100 must be approximately lined up with the reflector in order that a LOCK operation can be carried out on the reflector. TPS1100 instruments equipped with the option PowerSearch are already in LOCK mode after the PowerSearch routine is completed - no lining up is required. After the TPS1100 has locked on the reflector, it follows all movements of the reflector and is set centrically on it. It is therefore advisable to work with the 360° reflector (GRZ4) since this does not require aligning towards the instrument. The approximate alignment of the TPS1100 to the reflector can also be performed manually from the instrument. In the measurement display screen the search process can be started at any time. As in normal operation, this happens when you initiate a distance measurement ("DIST" or "ALL"). The TPS1100 now locks on to the reflector. Starting from the RCS 1100, an approximate alignment of the TPS1100 to the reflector can take place with the functions available under . The search process can then be started with . These functions will be later described in more detail. 360°reflector (GRZ4) 1000Z25 5 Working procedure Operation 18 RCS1100-1.2.0en Definition of a Working Area (WORKA) With this function the dimensions of the RCS Searching Window can be defined.

In order to use the compass mode we recommend you to use a handheld compass with 360° rotatable Hz circle and incorporated V circle, e.g. RECTA DP6 or SILVA Ranger 15 / 25. Compass mode is suitable for aligning the TPS1100 over longer distances. Operation To establish the link between TPS1100 and compass, proceed as follows: 20 Step 1: Perform the Hz orientation on the TPS1100. Step 2: Turn the TPS1100 until Hz shows 0.000 (irrespective of the angle units being used). Step 3: Look into the telescope of the TPS1100 and select a prominent target. Step 4: Aim the compass at the same prominent target and turn the Hz circle of the compass until the compass needle is at 0° or at N (north). Do not turn the Hz circle again. RCS1100-1.2.0en Hz / V Compass, continued PowerSearch Aim towards the TPS1100 with the compass from the prism: • To lock the prism for the first time • if you lose the LOCK setting. Starts the quick prism search using PowerSearch. This function is only available on instruments equipped with the optional PowerSearch sensor. Read off from the compass: • the Hz angle indicated by the compass needle (0° to 360°) • the V angle (+90° to -90°, horizontal = 0°) and enter these values in the RCS 1100. Quits the compass mode and starts the search mode. RCS1100-1.2.0en Two different search modes are available. If no working area has been defined the instrument rotates 360º around its standing axis. In this way, PowerSearch scans the entire horizon. If a working area has been defined, then PowerSearch is only active within the defined limits. 21 Activates the Hz/V mode. 6 7 RCS\ HZ/V Set relative Hz- and V-angles ∆ Hz Hz/∆ ∆V V/∆ CONT : : 8 0°00'00" 0°00'00" 15 ABS QUIT In Hz/V mode, the TPS1100 can be turned by set angle values.

To stop the rotary movement, press any cursor key. Quits joystick mode and starts search mode. Operation 22 RCS1100-1.2.0en Activate/Deactivate Work Area (WORK+/WORK-) Activates the function activate/deactivate working area. If the instrument is in RCS mode and the determined working area is activated then the entire working area is scanned for the reflector if the target was not found by the standard search method at the current position of the telescope. If the working area is deactivated only the standard search methods at the current position of the telescope are performed. The instrument follows the reflector even if the reflector is outside the Working Area. If the target is lost outside the Working Area a local search will be started. If the reflector was not found the predefined Working Area is scanned. RCS1100-1.2.0en Lock interruption / Lock go On instruments with the optional PowerSearch, the working area can be used to limit PowerSearch to a certain area and when activated, PowerSearch only scans within the defined limits. Last point stored Activates the LAST function. If the LOCK mode is lost, this function can be used to turn the TPS1100 back to the last point stored. When the movement is complete, the TPS1100 automatically starts to search for the prism. Activates the lock interruption/relock. This function serves to interrupt the LOCK mode and later to reinstate it, e.g. if the prism is placed on the ground during stakeout or if the TPS1100 is also to be targeted on a second prism. If this function is called up in the RCS-mode the Joystick dialog is automatically started. The ATR remains active, i.e. if the reflector reappears in the field of view it is immediately relocked. Switching the RCS mode Switches on/off the RCS mode. For using the remote control the RCS mode must be switched on. 23 Operation 6 7 8 15 Complete display Hold for min. 2 seconds. The complete contents of the respective display is transfered if the display is incomplete due to disturbances to the radio link. The function is only available on the RCS. 5 Working with the TPS1000 series The instrumentation is set up and prepared in the same way as the TPS1100. The keyboard and display differ somewhat from those in the other series and so a keyboard template must be used with the RCS1100. The presentation in the RCS1100 of the dialogues from the TPS1000 differs slightly, but this does not in any way restrict the operation. The functions specific to the RCS are described in detail in the appropriate section of the user manual for the TPS1000. The greatest differences are in the display of the icons; this is due to the different dimensions of the display. The time, and the battery status of the TPS1000, are displayed alternately in the title line. Operation 24 Instead of two lines of three status fields, one line of four status fields is displayed on the right-hand margin. 1. The first position normally shows the status for the memory card. The operating mode is not shown, because remote control is only possible in RCS mode. 2. The second position normally shows the telescope face. If the compensator cannot be read out at this time, the current display of the telescope face is superimposed. If the compensator has been switched off, the symbols for the compensator and for the telescope face are displayed alternately. 3. The third position shows the status symbol for the automatic target recognition (LOCK). 4. The last position shows the key mode.
